Have you ever heard of WWII online?
How many players will the game support simultaneously?
CS: Right now we are shooting for 10,000 players in the Blitzkrieg theater of operations. And we currently have 10 or more theaters of operations planned to make up a seamless World War II Online "world." That's where we want to start, and take it higher from there. With the retail distribution plan we have with Strategy First we should be able to attract a lot of players. We're setting up our server technology to be flexible and growth oriented. 10,000 players per theater is a number we fully plan to exceed. We still may end up with shards but not if we can help it.
GS: How many different positions will players be able to choose from in World War II Online?
CS: Well, that's a tough one to answer right off the bat. Drive tanks, man the guns, fly planes, storm enemy positions as a trooper, run the radar at a base, man AAA guns, drive supply trucks to the front, escort bombers in single-seat fighters, plan and post missions, allocate resources for ship building or R&D, decide where new and advanced weapon systems are deployed, and a lot more. We'll be allowing players to command bases and ships, subs; it's a huge plan.
